Consequently we feel justified in tax
ing the liberty of printing few points
from a private letter received from one
of our largest patrons, as sort Of con-
fession of faith to our readers. We
quote:
eve have convinced ourselves that by
telling what we know to be true, we have
produced at last permanent conviction in
the public mind. Seven years ago We
| stated what the national disease of this
country was, and that it was rapidly IN
creasing. Three years ago we stated that
a marked check had been given 1T.
'The statistics of one of the largest life
insurance companies in this country shows
| that in 1883 and 1884, the mortality from
kidney disorders did not increase over the
previous years: other companies stated
the same thing. It is not presumptious
| for US to claim credit for checking these
| ravages.
"Seven years ago we stated that the
condition of the kidneys was the key to
the condition of health; within the past
five years all careful life insurance COM
panies have conceded the truth of this
! statement, for, whereas, ten years ago,
chemical analysis to determine the con-
dition of the kidneys was not required,
tod day millions of dollars IN risks are re-
| fused, because chemical examination dis
covers unexpected diseases of the kidneys.
'Seven years ago we stated that the
ravages of Bright's Disease were insig-
nifcant ompared with other unsupported
disorders of the kidneys of many mis-
leading names, that ninety-three per cent.
of human ailments are attributable to de-
,anged kidneys, which fills the blood with
uric acid, or kidney poison, which causes
these many fatal diseases.
"The uric acid, or kidney poison, is the
real cause of the majority of cases of
paralysis, apoplexy, heart disease, con-
WILSON'S, pneumonia, consumption, and
insanity; over half the victims of con-
sum ption are first the victims Of diseased
kidneys.
"When the recent death of an honored
ex-official of the United States was an
nounced. his physician said that although
he was suffering from Bright's Disease,
that was not the cause of death. He was
not frank enough to admit that the apo
plexy that overlook him in his bed, was
the fatal effect of the kidney poison in
the blood, which had eaten away the
substance of the arteries and brain; nor
was Logan's physician honest enough to
ed by kidney acid in the blood.
'If the doctors would state in official
reports the original cause of death, the
people of this country would be alarmed,
yea, nearly panic stricken, at the fearful
mortality from kidney disorders"
The writer's of the above letter give
these facts to the public simply TO justify
the claims that they haze made, that eff the
kidneys and liver are kept in a healthy
condition by the use of Warmers safe
cure, which hundreds of thousands have
proved to be a specific, when all other
remedies failed, and that has received the
endorsement of the highest medical tai
emit in Europe, Australasia, and America,
many life would be prolonged and the
happiness of the people preserved. It
is successful with so many different dis
eases because it, and it alone, can remove
the uric acid from the blood through the
Kidneys
Our readers are familiar with the prep
aratiOn named.
Commentator thereof has often ap-
peared in our columns.
| We believe it to be one of the best, if
not the best, ever manufactured. We know
the proprietors are men of character and
influence.
We are certain they have awakened
widespread interest in the public mind
concerning the Importance of the kid
neys. We believe with them that they
are the key to health, and that for their
restoration from disease and maintenance
in health, there is nothing equal to this
| great remedy.
The proprietors say they s'do not glory
in this universal prevalence of disease,
but having started out with the purpose
of spreading the merits of Warmers safe
cure before the world, because it cured
our senior proprietor, lUho 1Uas gicen up by
doctors as incurdble, we feel it our duty to
state the facts and leave the public to its
own inferences. We point to our claims,
and to their public and uniuersaI Uerifca-
ton with pride, and if the public does
not believe what we say, we tell them to
ask their friends and neighbors what they
| think about our preparations"
AS stated above, We most cordially cem
mend the perusal Of this correspondence
by our readers, believing that in SO doing,
we are fulfilling simple public obliga-
| ton.
There are 1898 public Libraries in the
United Stat es. The largest is the con-
gressional library at Washington and the
oldest the Harvard college library, found
ed in 1888. Chicago's public library is
